Review summary

The Greek Isle Cruise was fun and exciting. The ports were fantastic. Service at the restaurants was lacking on this cruise, but not a show stopper.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was OK, Not as efficient as in the US. Some waiting in lines

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

I have taken 10 Royal Carib cruises in the last 3 years and been very satisfied with all. This Cruise had some disappointments. Botched reservations at My Time, and very long waits for service in the Specialty Restaurants. We did the Chef's Table and that is 5 Star. Xavier did a great job and was entertaining.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Shows were all very good especially the comedians. Fitness center was ok for this size ship. Limited equipment but it works. Crew does a great shop with Centrum activities.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

KK, Concierge Director and Nelson our Ship Steward were great. Service was lacking in all three Specialty restaurants. They seemed under staffed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Beautiful ship, the Centrum is exceptional.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I especially like the size of the Grand Suite over the Jr Suite and Balcony. Grand Suite adds a bar area, double vanity in bathroom, ample drawers for storage plus access to the Concierge Lounge.

Ship tip

Enjoy the Centrum and Schooner's

Ports of call

Venice, Italy

5 out of 5

We have traveled to 20 countries in Europe and Venice is the most unique due to the canal system.

Thumbs Up 1

Kotor, Montenegro

5 out of 5

Breathtaking scenery. We did the Bay of Kotor Cruise. As note, the route taken by the excursion largely emulates the cruise ship course.

Thumbs Up 1

Corfu, Greece

5 out of 5

Beautiful island. Drink the award winning Corfu Beer. We did the Achillelon Palace, Paleokastrist & Old Town tour. The tour guide did a great job and the Place was great. Paleokastrist was a 60 minute bus ride and only 20 minutes to look around. Old Town was very interesting and would trade more time here and eliminate Paleokastrista.

Thumbs Up 1

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5

It's Athens and all the history that goes with it. Can't miss this trip.

Thumbs Up 3

Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5

The most beautiful of all the ports. White sandstone building trimmed in blue. Great restaurants. Windmills are worth seeing.

Thumbs Up 3

Argostoli, Kefalonia, Greece

5 out of 5

After all the beautiful ports this was the least favorite. Not that it was bad just not as interesting. See the caves.
